In this episode, we talk about a pandemic changes/challenge: Why do we watch movies and TV shows on repeat? What do they hold for us that we aren’t willing to let go? Also, we have a featured student podcasters discussing "The Filter Bubble" and a variety of media issues.

Censorship, Cancel culture, Twitter and social networks… all have had a place in the news media of late. With headlines to follow such as: “We Tried to Warn You” from The Atlantic regarding the chaos in the Capitol. Then, a comparison of “reining the media in” and media literacy education by one of our government members. What does this mean? This is concerning along with the other topics that are related to the media as we consider 1st Amendment rights as well as the purpose of media literacy education.

A tribute to a grand pioneer of Media Literacy Education - Marieli Rowe.
